Re: Answering a few questions about Daisy Bookworm for iPhone
What reader do you have? Well this may be a good app for the iPod Touch which still works out cheaper then the Victor Stream.

Pages09
Good morning. I am a new Mac user and new to this group. I am transitioning from Microsoft office applications to the IWork suite. My goal is to be able to do all of my work in the IWork suite but save it in Microsoft compatible formats so that I can share it with others. My first step is to deal with pages09. Is it accessible with Voice Over? Is there anything I absolutely cannot do with Voice Over? I looked for the Voluntary Product Accessible template for Pages09 but it's not on the Apple web site yet. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks so much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

I've tried those voices. The samples sound great, but they pronounce so many real words wrong it's untrue. I'd be interested to know how responsive the computer is when using them on the Mac side as in Jaws it's a problem.

Re: Answering a few questions about Daisy Bookworm for iPhone
I read books all the time as well. I just won't devote money to a device designed for that purpose alone. I've never traveled for more than 15 hours at a time so a new iPhone with a battery pack would more than do. It's not just an iPhone thing either. I did the same thing on my windows mobile phone.. Unless I'm stuck on a glacier, I will find a computer, or electrical outlet to plug the thing in.

Re: Transferring stuff between Macks
Not having followed this thread very closely, there is nothing complex about transferring files etc. THe question is what are you trying to accomplish. If your goal is to migrate data from one Mac to another, then you simply use the Migration tool, which is very efficient and effective. If your goal is to simply move some files between two machines, the Migration tool is not going to be the best solution. Instead you can use even something as simple as scp, which is a part of the ssh package from the Terminal, you can use file sharing and simply connect via the Finder from one box to the other, or use ftp. Lots of ways to move content and hey, an external drive would work just as well. Point is determine what he goal is and then use the appropriate tools. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Transferring stuff between Macks
Did you correctly configure the options before starting the migration? I have used the MIgration Assistant for many years and have had no problems moving files and such from one Mac to another.

Re: Answering a few questions about Daisy Bookworm for iPhone
Personally I would not spend the money on a Victor Stream or any other product, if I can get an app for the iPhone. I still have hope that something may be done to play NLS content for example on the iPhone and it is still a possibility. The point is I could purchase the best possible battery pack and still spend less money then if I purchased one of the accessible book reading devices. Sure you would not one to drain your communications device down since having it always ready to communicate is important, but there are always at least two solutions to every problem.

Re: Transferring stuff between Macks
When I"m doing the migration in the wizard there is a table in which I can select what I want to copy and I don't fully understand how to read it with voiceover. there is a users section in the table which seems to be expandable but does nto expand nor does it tell me the users. the same goes for the applications, it just says applications expand checked. why have either user or application sections in the table if neither can be viewed? I guess my biggest issue was unchecking user accounts because that probably would have transfered over my account but I didn't want to deal with possibly having 2 user accounts with the same name and then having a mess.

Re: dvds and the mac
The same eject button works on windows too if you are using boot camp or some sort of virtual machine, if the disc does not eject just hold the mouse button down as you turn the mac on, this will force all drives to eject.

IPod/IPhone and reading text with a braille display.
Hi all. What is the best app to use for reading on the IPod touch with os4. Is there any aplications where I can search in the dokument and go back to a bookmark and maybe add a bookmark. Often I am reading HTML can I read HTML in the safari app on the IPod, if so how can I transfer the dokuments to the IPod. I have tried to use fileapp, it does a great job, but the navigation is not quiet good. At last I have to say that apple has done a good job with this os4. I really like the danish contracted braille, but do anybody know, where I have to report the bugs in the danish braille, I can not figure it out how to write capitals, and I can not find out how to make an @. There they have done a mistake. But I am impressed. Best regards Annie. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Transferring stuff between Macks
The table does allow you to expand by using VO-shift-\ and if that fails because my memory has failed me, try without shift. Either way I have done this many times and if you pay close attention to the instructions, you can't mess things up at all. It only gets messy if you try to migrate data to a machine that you have already established an account on. If you get really jammed, I could perhaps discuss with you off list.

You cannot recognise the presence and colour of background highlighting. However, TextEdit will recognise background colour, so if it's a case of knowing it's there, TextEdit will solve the problem. There are other minor irritations, but on the whole, the iWork09 suite works well. I use it all the time to work on documents created with MS Office and to export them to the Office equivalent. If you can be more specific about the kinds of documents you need to use, I should be able to help you.

Re: The dashboard
Hello Donna, F12 has two functions, one is hardware and the other is software. It all depends on how you have your FN key set. So, if F12 controls the volume, then FN-F12 opens the Dashboard.

Re: The dashboard
You can bring up the dashboard with F12, assuming you have Expose set up that way, which it is by default. If you have a MacBook/Macbook Pro, you might have to use FN+F12 instead. Newer Macbooks and macbook Pros (that is, newer than the 2007 Macbook I replaced with the Pro) use F4 as a sort of dedicated dashboard key.

the mac and dvds
Hi I'll be getting a macbook pro on tuesday from my state voc rehab agency it has a trackpad, not a mouse, so how then do I eject disks? I'l be interested to see how much they paid for it. I found on amazon I can get one for $1150. but I haven't found a lower price on the macbook pro. I realy hope my state hires me or the voc rehab tch specialist hires me to train people on the use of the mac, and the use of windows with NVDA and system access and voiceover for the mac. three more days! three more days and my macbook prro will be in my hands! I can't wait! I wish it were here right now! I got to play with a mac mini a year and a half ago or two years ago. it had leopard on it. But at those training centers you only get so much time per class and I didn't have time to really sit and learn the mac inside and out. But I knew I wanted to, and I had to. So I spent a year or so convincing voc rehab to get me a mac. I knew I wanted a macbook because I like the portabiity. Voc rehab of pennsylvania never got a mac for a totally blind person before. they only have gotten them for large print readers or people with very high vision. and then they only got them for people going into art and music and that sort o stuff.

Re: The dashboard

Running Windows
I recently bought parallels desktop 5 with the view to run a demo version of JAWS. I already have Windows XP installed via BootCamp. Anyway I got parallels up and running 9with sighted assistance). I am finding it is not very VoiceOver friendly. Even the preferences window can't even be used with VoiceOver (well you can select tabs) I noticed there were tabs for speech and iPhone, not sure what they do though.

Re: speaking of widgets in dashboard...
Oh, interesting. I didn't know the widget bar and the dashboard were different. The only place I see widgets is if I go into the widget bar menu. Cheers, Donna P.S. Sorry, Mark, I know that didn't answer your question. :) Since I haven't seen either of the things you describe, I'm afraid I can't help.

accessibility and usability of stanza
Hi all, I have recently installed the stanza app on my Ipod and subsequently went to the website to look at the faq. For whatever reason, the portion of faq having to do with transfering files didn't show answers when I clicked on one of the questions in that section. Anyway, my questions are these: Is stanza on the mac usable with vo? Can you read books in the ereader format as advertised on the IPhone version? And is there a problem with having your place retained? I have a lot of rtf-format books that I have scanned on a pc. Someone suggested stanza as an option for reading these on an Iphone/Ipod, but if the place is not retained when you close the book, that doesn't seem like a worthwhile option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Windows on the mac question

Re: Transferring stuff between macs
Hi Chris. I have a time machine capsule. I wish to know of I went half way round the world (not that I will) with my Mac Pro, could I access my stuff by logging into the time capsule and getting what I wanted? How would I log in (the capsule is attached to our wireless here) but not to the Wireless router. I'm in essence asking would I have to put my name and password in and would I then get to a page or file directory or something? Kawal.

Re: Windows on the mac question
Hi, I too am having an issue with fusion. Every time I start jaws, it wants to install the video intercept manager. I tell it to go ahead, and it gives me an error. Also, and most maddening of all, every time I try to rout jaws to pc or even simply read a document in notepad, all the blasted thing says is "blank." Is there a set of optimum display settings I should use? I really only use Windows for two programs for which there is no mac answer, and not being able to use them is bloody obnoxious.

line in works but can't monitor sound
Hi all, I've done some googling on this and all replies indicate that I should use a play through option in whatever software I might be using at the time. that is not an option. I need to be able to hear myself through my line out headphone jack on my iMac while I talk through my mixer connected to my line in jack. I can record fromt he line in and it sounds ok but the only way i know it sounds right is by playing back the recording and I need to know how I sound for example, on skype so that I can adjust volumes accordingly otherwise I'll never know if I'm too loud or too quiet I need an operating system wide option to let me monitor my input, any suggestions?

Re: line in works but can't monitor sound
Hi Cody, the only thingI can think of is an Imike. THat's how I use Amadeus and monitor myself a the same time. It's about $24 from Amazon and is a breeze to install. Not to configure, but to just plug in to the USB port smile. I had a bit of trouble configuring the Imike, but once I did it worked like a charm. I didn't realize I had to go in to System preferences then to sound and then input and select Imike from the table. I hope that helps.

VoiceOver 4.0
Well guys now the iPhone 4.0 is out of he way, I think the next thing we should start looking forward to is the next Mac OS. 10.7 (lion maybe?). so I was wondering what features/ improvements you would like implemented into VoiceOver 4.0 and hopefully Apple are listening. i will get the ball rolling ... 1. Intelligent number reading. if voiceover encounters numbers then it can only be set to read them as words or numbers. It would be neat if VoiceOver knew when it was more appropriate to say the numbers as digits or words. For example if the word year appeared after 26 (digits) voiceover knew in this instance to read two six as twenty six years. Another example would be a phone number, if the word tel: or mobile: etc appears before numbers beginning with either + or 0 then to read this out as digits and not some huge number containing millions and thousands. The same could be said for time and measurements etc. 2. In mail it would be more useful if voiceover did not read blank blank on every line on the message viewer if there was nothing in that cell. yes I know you can turn buddies off and move columns around etc to get around this, but really voiceover should only read out what is relevant unless the user wishes to interact with the item in more detail. I think it would also be useful to know if the email has an attachment before opening it. 3. An additional voice. Alex is wonderful and plays great fast and slow, the other voices that come with the mac have been there since the year dot and probably sounded impressive in the 80s or 90s but now I wonder why they are still there. I would like to see an additional voice added to complement Alex, maybe a female voice. This would be useful for reading events as some of us have to purchase an additional voice for this task. 4. Portable document image , when using adium or the weather widget I get infuriated when I hear the graphic image read out as portable document image. Why can't voiceover simply say oh its a picture of the sun or a cloud or its a smiley or sad face etc. 5. The ability to change the speech rate etc within iChat for when you have events set up so new messages or buddies online are read out., as currently the default is very slow and there is no way to speed them up. 6. The ability to remember hotspots and web hot spots (by website basis) after turning the mac off would be very useful. Landmarks has been added to the iPhone, perhaps this could be added to the Mac too? 7. JAWS has the ability through scripting to make unaccessible applications accessible. This is not an ideal long term solution but it is a temporary fix and the ability to share these scripts with others etc would make the likes of Microsoft Office etc accessible until they finally get around to following Apple's accessibility guidelines. 8. A keybaord shortcut to read out battery status when using a laptop. Or even better still, when pressing the battery status button on the side of the macbook, enable voiceover to detect that button press and act on it. 9. When setting password protection on the Mac, VoiceOver is not set as default to alert the user that they need to enter their password. even though VoiceOver might be set as the default to come on once you have successfully logged onto the mac, you have to manually set in the accounts preferences to enable voiceover to run on the login screen. Ok over you to guys now... Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: VoiceOver 4.0
Sorry I was to quick to hit send before reading that last message through first. I also forgot to put my 10th request in. 10. Double linking. If you go to www.apple.com/feedback you will see on there when reading the document through that some links are read out more then once. This is because there could be a graphic link then a text link to the same page etc. VoiceOver should learn that when this happens only read out the link once and ignore the second one. Ok that is my top 10 complete, and before users flame me I love the Mac and VoiceOver, I just want to see it grow for our benefit.

Re: VoiceOver 4.0
1. Language rotor, so I can hear Spanish, French, and Basque spoken like they should be. Alex and Vicki just don't do it for me, it sounds so sterile. 2. Automatic interaction with the text area in Mail. I wonder if another key should be used for stopping speech, as I don't get to use control+2 finger flick to change magnification when VO is running with the trackpad commander.

RE: Answering a few questions about Daisy Bookworm for iPhone
Well, a Windows user might say that they can purchase a computer, far more powerful than your Mac, and for less money, so why waste money on a Mac? Or many people wonder why people bother buying iPhones, when the new Android phones far outclass the iPhone in terms of specs and open operation? Cost isn't always the point, though. I don't want to sound like I'm down on them making this program. I might buy it. Actually, I wonder why I'm arguing this on a listserv, anyway. I know that many blind tech people are rightly down on some of the over-priced specialized blindness gadgets. But, seriously, this isn't a $5,000 note taker. Most of the book readers aren't much more than $300. That is damn cheap for a device that is optimized to be controlled with buttons and speech feedback, rather than using touch-screen gestures to review and control a visually-optimized interface. You're waiting for NLS support, which they may never provide. Meanwhile, the Stream works with NLS, RFB&D, newsline, practically all other major talking book libraries in the world, DVS movies from places like SamNet, plays Daisy audio books in both MP3 and 3GP audio formats (which this probably won't ever play, so probably no NLS support), plays commercial audio books (including Audible), plays books that you rip from CD yourself as books with all book features (bookmarks, notes, highlighting, etc) still in effect (not just loading MP3s in to a media player), reads Daisy books in text format, reads HTML and plane text with full book navigation and note taking features, plays MP3, OGG, and uncompressed music, and a bunch of other stuff, for 15+ hours at a stretch (no add-on battery pack required), for $300. And it operates so simply that you don't need hardly any sort of instruction to use it, and, without even using this app, I can state with certainty that no iPhone app is ever going to allow me to zip through menus like I can on a dedicated device. I can work it half asleep, which I often do. These little devices are really something for $300. So, just like getting a Mac instead of Windows, or an iPhone instead of a Droid, you're buying it not because it's the rock-bottom option in terms of cost, but because of the optimized user experience, and the fact that it just works. Anyway, all this to make the point that, regardless of software, my prediction is that, with no dedicated hardware for decrypting books, and no hardware support for decoding the audio formats that some of them use, all of that will be running in software, constantly running the CPU at max, sucking down battery power, and you'll be lucky to get 4 hours out of a stock battery before the phone goes from full charge to fully dead. Maybe a battery pack could stretch it to 8. Even so, it will support far less content, and the interface will be far slower to operate. I don't think that translates in to a good book player. I hope that they can prove me wrong. I'd probably be willing to trade off some of the stream's long run-time and sacrifice its great interface, if the iPhone app would actually do more than a digital book player. Right now it does less in every regard. What I'd like to see is this app become a blind version of Netflix, offering content on demand. If you could start this reader app, and browse/stream content from various providers like the talking book libraries, Bookshare, etc, then I'd consider it superior. That would also get rid of the whole overhead of having to make sure your phone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network (this isn't always possible), and upload books to your phone over FTP. Basically, these guys should stop trying to think about how to port a desktop Daisy book reader to the iPhone, which is what they've done so far, and start thinking of this like a rich client, which is how most all of the other media apps on the iPhone operate. Just imagine how not fun Netflix would be if you had to log on from your PC, find and download a movie, get your phone and PC on the same hotspot, and upload the movie to your phone. There is no way most people would bother with that. They want to have an impulse like "hey, I'd sure like to watch an episode of Family Guy or see what new documentaries are out from the Discovery Channel", bring up the app, type in a search query, and tap play. All of that stuff with using a PC and re-uploading files takes all of the spontaneousness out of finding something entertaining to enjoy while you have some down time, and turns it in to a project. Anyway, here's hoping we get a BlindFlix, or AudioZone, or something for audio what Netflix is for video and the general population. The person that makes that will have my money for sure!

Bookmarks Bar in Safari [was Re: Safari question and first post from Mac]
Hello Alfredo, Yes, you can have a bookmark folder that you create appear on the Safari bookmarks bar, if you have your browser set to display this. The fastest way to create a folder on the Bookmarks Bar, assuming you start with a completely empty setup, would be to press Command-Option- B to "Show All Bookmarks", then to navigate to the "Bookmarks Bar". You can use item chooser (VO-I) to go to "Bookmarks Bar" in the table of bookmark collections. (Note: there's both a "Bookmarks Bar" and a "Bookmarks Menu" in the table.) Then, tab past the "search text field" to the table that lists contents of your selected bookmark collection and interact. Create a new folder with Command-Shift-N. After you've created your folders and bookmarks, use Command-Option-B again to "Hide All Bookmarks" -- that key sequence is a toggle. It's also the first command in the "Bookmarks" menu on the menu bar, if you use the menu bar instead of keyboard shortcuts. You'll also find the commands to "Add Bookmark" (Command-D) and "Add Bookmark Folder" (Command-Shift- N) if you arrow down through the Bookmarks menu on the Safari menu bar. To add the present page as a bookmark, use Command-D, and then type in a name (or use the default) in the dialog window. VO-Space on the pop up button for where to save the bookmark, and select the "Bookmarks Bar". General bookmarks management, searching, etc. is done by toggling on "Show All Bookmarks", which shows you a special web page for managing your bookmarks. The reason for not simply using Command-Shift-N to create a new folder is that it creates a new folder of bookmarks in your bookmark collections -- it does NOT create a folder under the Bookmarks bar, which is what you were asking for. You have to navigate to select the folder you want in the bookmarks collection in order to create subfolders there. To read more about bookmarks and there organization, you can read my post from last month in response to a question about moving and deleting bookmarks: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg21962.html (Re: moving and deleting bookmarks).

Re: Answering a few questions about Daisy Bookworm for iPhone
I could not agree more. I am just starting to look into talking books and all these different formats and libraries is confusing.. I don't want FTP I just want something I can drag and drop files to in any format or have a built in store where I can buy or rent books similar experience to the iTunes store. Maybe iBooks will be the way forward? But I was also thinking about the user interface, they do need to make it slick and easy and take advantage of gestures too. Mind you in respect of Android phones, it might be open source but personally I found the device inferior to the iPhone and even worse on accessiblity, just feels clumsy and a bit like a jig saw.

RE: iphone4 podcast now up
Hi Cody. . I enjoyed your podcast. Good job on it. One bit that I'm not clear about with iOS 4 and folders, though, is how the dragging behavior to create folders affects the way that VO users rearrange apps on a single screen. For example, , before iOS 4, you would tap and hold on the app to move, drag to a new position, and release your finger. your app would drop in to that position, and the other apps would be pushed over to make room. If you did that now, though, you'd create a folder that contained both the app that you were dragging, and the app that was located at the point where you released your finger. So, how do you move apps now without creating folders?

RE: saytext: new OCR app for IPhone
With Digit-Eyes, how do you find the bar code? When I was involved with the development of an accessible bar code system a few years back, cameras didn't do a good job. For the bar code recognition to work, the camera couldn't face the bar code at an angle, at it had to be right-side-up. Of course, a blind person doesn't necessarily know where on the box, can, or bottle the bar code is to be found, so that creates a challenge. That's partly why the ID Mate is so expensive. They must use a 3D laser scanner, like is used in the check-out line at a grocery store. Those perform an active scan, and can register bar codes at any angle, and even on curved surfaces. You can basically hold up the scanner and turn the container in front of the camera, and it will automatically scan the bar code as soon as it's visible, regardless of the bar code's orientation. My thoughts were that the iPhone app would be like trying to read a bar code with a CCD scanner. Yes, it would work but only if you knew where to find the bar code, which way was right-side-up, and only if the bar code was on a flat surface. Is it better than that?

Re: saytext: new OCR app for IPhone
No not really, it is tricky, if you have a enough sight to see where the barcode is then you have a bit more success. It has been hit and miss with me and to be honest by the time I have managed to get it to read a barcode I have placed the item under my iPal Solo to have it read instead. I I have not used the ID mate in person, but I guess the 3D camera would explain its hight price. If you have no vision at all it is very difficult to locate the barcode, so this solution is not ideal, unless there was a ruling to say where barcodes can always be found. Let's hope the OCR solutions for the iPhone are more successful. But the barcode reader is not totally useless as I did manage to scan some things.

RE: VoiceOver 4.0
1. I agree, scripts are great, and can help speed up many tasks. However, as it is right now, they aren't easy to share. That's a large reason why there aren't more people using them. When I made a move file script for VO, which I could explain how to operate in a single paragraph, I had to spend several more paragraphs trying to explain where the file should be placed, how to move it there, how to enable the keyboard commander, and how to assign the script to a shortcut key. Something is messed up with this process. Not exactly sure what the solution should be, but this needs work. Perhaps some sort of import VO script assistant? 2. busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, makes me angry, angry, angry, angry, angry! If an app is busy, and VO needs to tell me that, I appreciate it. However, I don't need to be reminded at such a rapid rate. How about spacing these messages further apart. How about playing a soft looping audio cue while an app is busy, so that we know, when we hear that sound, the app is still too involved to respond to user input. 3. Hot spots are great, but it would be good if we could have hot spots that were app-specific. For example, I could set a hot spot to the first item in a toolbar in Mail, or to the song name in the LCD area of iTunes. When I later returned to those programs, my hot spots would still be set. 4. VO needs to do a better job at shutting up speech when the user starts typing. VO commands interrupt speech just fine, but, frequently, I'll press an arrow key in a Finder window, and VO will keep on talking. 5. Why is it that, if VO sounds are enabled, the speech often waits until a sound has finished playing before speaking? This doesn't happen on the iPhone. The result is that VO users must decide between the benefits of the audio cues, or the increased responsiveness gained by turning them off. A compromise shouldn't be necessary. The cue and the speech can play at the same time, like what happens on the iPhone. This isn't VoiceOver specifically, but many of us are still waiting for some accessible way to select material for editing in GarageBand, as well as resolutions for the accessibility problems in Logic.

Intelligent number reading. if voiceover encounters numbers then it can only be set to read them as words or numbers. It would be neat if VoiceOver knew when it was more appropriate to say the numbers as digits or words. For example if the word year appeared after 26 (digits) voiceover knew in this instance to read two six as twenty six years. Another example would be a phone number, if the word tel: or mobile: etc appears before numbers beginning with either + or 0 then to read this out as digits and not some huge number containing millions and thousands. The same could be said for time and measurements etc. 2. In mail it would be more useful if voiceover did not read blank blank on every line on the message viewer if there was nothing in that cell. yes I know you can turn buddies off and move columns around etc to get around this, but really voiceover should only read out what is relevant unless the user wishes to interact with the item in more detail. I think it would also be useful to know if the email has an attachment before opening it. 3. An additional voice. Alex is wonderful and plays great fast and slow, the other voices that come with the mac have been there since the year dot and probably sounded impressive in the 80s or 90s but now I wonder why they are still there. I would like to see an additional voice added to complement Alex, maybe a female voice. This would be useful for reading events as some of us have to purchase an additional voice for this task. 4. Portable document image , when using adium or the weather widget I get infuriated when I hear the graphic image read out as portable document image. Why can't voiceover simply say oh its a picture of the sun or a cloud or its a smiley or sad face etc. 5. The ability to change the speech rate etc within iChat for when you have events set up so new messages or buddies online are read out., as currently the default is very slow and there is no way to speed them up. 6. The ability to remember hotspots and web hot spots (by website basis) after turning the mac off would be very useful. Landmarks has been added to the iPhone, perhaps this could be added to the
Re: VoiceOver 4.0
I am totally with you there, I am so frustrated that I can no longer use my music apps, Looks like I will be buying FUsion so I can do this! All that money I spent on Logic last year. Maybe we all need to formulate a list of new features we would like to see added to Voiceover, once its been agreed we all (all members of the group and anyone else who wants to) send the lsit to Apple. If they get over 500 emails with our requests, then hopefully they will be implemented in the next update. On 27 Jun 2010, at 07:32, Bryan Smart wrote: > 1.
